Last year, Shotaro posed for some photos with friends and relatives at his father’s official residence. Apart from this, Shotaro was also accused of using his father’s official car in France.
One of these pictures was on the stairs. The photo went viral and leaders of the Prime Minister’s party termed it as a wrongdoing. Fumio later takes responsibility, apologizing for his son’s actions. On Monday, he removed Shotaro as his political secretary.
Fumio came in front of the media on Monday as the matter escalated. Said- I take responsibility for the act done by the son. People are very angry about this. I cannot avoid this matter. Recently there was a meeting of leaders of G-7 countries in Hiroshima.
It was only after this that I decided that Shotaro should no longer hold this position. Now I am giving this responsibility to my private secretary.
In February, the Prime Minister of Japan went on a tour of France, Britain, and Canada. Shotaro also accompanied his father on this trip. Shotaro went shopping in France and used his father’s official car.
